I wish I had known about this site before I started trying to root my first BLOX2. My enthusiasm got way ahead of my knowledge and skills, and the poor little BLOX2 is about as dead as can be — I am pretty sure. My PC (Windows 10 Home 64bit) doesn’t make a peep when I plug the phone in via usb, no combination of buttons gets any response, and the little red light will not blink regardless of whether I am pushing buttons or plugging it into its OEM charger, or connecting it to the ‘puter by USB.

Anyway, I fell in love with the phone in the few days before I started destroying it, and so I am now attempting to Root my second BLOX2. I don’t want to hard brick this one too. I cannot afford to buy another replacement. (This is not the first phone I have hard-bricked, unfortunately.)

This is why I was thrilled to find this site! Unfortunately, my bad phone mojo seems to have followed me here. This morning I have been trying to root my new BLOX2 with Draco’s Auto-Root, and I cannot even seem to do that right.

I copied and pasted the info from the screen:

Beginning auto root…

THE PHONE WILL REBOOT MANY TIMES DURING THIS PROCESS!

DO NOT INTERRUPT IT OR THERE MAY BE CONSEQUENCES!

Attempting to boot to the bootloader…

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

Unlocking bootloader…

There is a fairly active group working with the X2 & X2 Mini (I own a Mini)—you will find a good amount of answers there. I’m a Linux user & with my phone plugged in issued a “adb reboot” , but read what I did in the forum thread.

Your post on XDA told me what I needed to know, ie, that I should just keep fighting through it — slowly and incrementally and logically and CALMLY. I highlight calmly because I realized upon review that for my second attempt pasted in above, I inadvertently switched from BLOX2 Autoroot to BLOX2 Toolkit without even realizing it. (No wonder the printout was so different. Duh.)

I think I’ll post about how I got through the whole thing over there, i.e., on XDA. I do want to mention though that I finally did succeed with the help of BLOX2 Core, which is also by the brilliant team of DRAX & ieatgravity.
